Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan got a big advantage themselves when they announced 104 candidates (99+5) in one go earlier this month.
It was like never before in the history of the Telugu Desam Party to announce candidates before the election schedule.
And here we are talking about more than 100 candidates’ announcements. It gave a huge political advantage to TDP and Janasena.
Meanwhile, the BJP entered the alliance and the seat-sharing talks have gone for a mess. In the last few days, they have indulged more in these talks.
The entire political narrative around the three parties is the permutations and combinations of seat-sharing.
Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy is gearing up to announce all the candidates (175+25) on the 16th of this month in Idupulapaya.
Announcing all the candidates in one go is a huge psychological advantage to the YSR Congress.
There were reports that TDP and Janasena may release their second list and BJP their first list on the 14th i.e., tomorrow.
This is not officially confirmed yet.
If Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan can roll up their sleeves and announce the entire list tomorrow. The advantage to the YSR Congress will be lost.
It is better if they complete the exercise before the 17th and blow the conch from the Chilakaluripeta meeting which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending, it will be a perfect plan for the opposition. We will see what they will do!
